Centre for Environment Education (CEE) is a national institution engaged in developing programmes and material to increase awareness and concern, leading to action, regarding the environment and sustainable development. Established in 1984 as a Centre of Excellence supported by the Government of India, Ministry of Environment and Forests (GoI-MoEF), it is affiliated to the Nehru Foundation for Development.
CEE’s prime objective is to promote informed and balanced appreciation of environmental and developmental issues in a manner conducive to action for the conservation and wise use of natural resources. The work method adopted draws upon both traditional and modern knowledge systems, and employs a range of techniques and technologies of communication and networking.
CEE’s programmes and projects over two decades have explored the emerging models of development to identify and promote those which are contextually sustainable. The methods employed include working with communities, sharing knowledge with policymakers, and capacity building at sub-national, national and trans-national levels. These have yielded opportunities to meaningfully bring learnings and insights from the grassroots to bear on policies and actions.
